It's that time of year again! Even though it is still snowing, it's not too early to plan for spring. This year we have our largest offering ever: 167 varieties, 36 of them brand new – 59 bareroot fruit trees & berries; 65 bareroot trees & shrubs (including some hard-to-find natives); 43 organically grown, potted perennials & herbs – with a few more still to be added.

Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District strives to provide the community with high quality, bareroot plants and potted perennials at a reasonable price, and at the same time raise funds for our education programs. The trees, shrubs, and perennials are mostly native and always non-invasive. We are proud that our selections are excellent for home orchards and gardens, windbreaks, soil stabilization, and shoreline buffers – as well as ornamental plantings. And, they are great choices for pollinators, beneficial insects, and other wildlife.
